The Ultimate Crossover: Itto Meets Sampo in Genshin Impact's Latest Concept

An innovative idea has been proposed by a Genshin Impact player by fusing the well-known Geo user Arataki Itto with Sampo, a character from the recently released Honkai: Star Rail. The Honkai franchise is highly popular among fans who frequently attempt to merge its characters with those of Genshin Impact to create unique concepts. This trend is not unexpected as several Genshin Impact characters have been modeled after Honkai's playable roster, including Clara, Kafka, Tingyun, and many more, who all have their equivalent counterparts in the world of Teyvat.

A Genshin Impact fan-art by CWHardKnight has caught the attention of the community. The artwork depicts Arataki Itto, the Geo user, wearing a brand new outfit from Honkai: Star Rail's Sampo. Sampo is a unique four-star character in Honkai's roster and is known for his interesting abilities. The post received a lot of positive feedback, with over 1.6k upvotes on the official Genshin Impact subreddit. CWHardKnight is renowned in the community for creating similar projects by combining different parts from various characters into a single concept. Fans in the comment section have praised Itto's new appearance, describing it as more professional.

Sampo, on the other hand, is a powerful Wind user in Honkai: Star Rail, who can be used as a support in various team compositions. His kit revolves around providing and boosting DoT effects, as well as shredding opponents' Toughness bars. Although Sampo is a free-to-play friendly unit, players who wish to maximize their potential need to carefully build their team around his DoT abilities.

The leader of the Arataki gang is infamous for his mischievous acts throughout the Inazuma region, often requiring the assistance of Kuki Shinobu, an Electro user from the same gang. Itto is currently the most dominant Geo DPS character in the game and is a vital addition to any all-Geo party. To further enhance his damage output, players should also enlist the support of Gorou, a four-star character.

Thankfully, Itto and Gorou are frequently featured on the same banner, which means that most players who obtained Itto also acquired Gorou. For those interested in obtaining this top-tier five-star Geo character, the opportunity may arise in the upcoming months, as Gorou's last banner appearance was in Genshin Impact version 3.3.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
